Grossular and Diopside    York River Skarn Zone, near Bancroft, Ontario, Canada.  Collected by Michael Walter, 1997.  This large, lustrous garnet shows areas of nice transparency and stepped/ pitted faces.  It is large, measuring 2.5 cm, and the specimen is 3.3 x 2.5 x 2.1 cm.  There is minor chatter on on edge otherwise the piece is fantastic with the back being as nice, or better, than the front.  Mounted in a perky box.  $125
